Task
Cruz and Erica were both getting ready for soccer.
Cruz ran 1 lap around the school.
Erica ran 3 laps around the playground.
Erica said,
I ran more laps, so I ran farther.
Cruz said,
4 laps around the school is 1 mile, but it takes 12 laps around the playground to go 1 mile. My laps are much longer, so I ran farther.
Who is right? Draw a picture to help you explain your answer.


Topic options: 
A. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
B. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
C. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
D. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
E. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
F. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
G. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
H. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
I. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
J. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
K. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.


Thought: In this problem, students learn to recognize equivalent fractions. Each lap around the school is 1/4 mile, while each lap around the playground is 1/12 mile. Three laps around the playground is 3/12 mile, which is equivalent to 1/4.
Answer: D

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant topics it teaches.

problem_activity: Activity
Students combine their experience with solids of rotation and their understanding of cylinder volume.
No specific directions are given in regard to specifying how students should express their volume answer. Monitor for students who leave their answers in terms of
\(\pi\)
and those who found an approximate decimal answer.
Launch
Action and Expression: Develop Expression and Communication.
Maintain a display of important terms and vocabulary. During the launch, take time to review the following terms from previous lessons that students will need to access for this activity: axis of rotation, solid of rotation, volume of a cylinder.

Suppose each two-dimensional figure is rotated around the vertical axis shown. Each small square in the grid represents 1 square centimeter.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may struggle to visualize the rotated figures. For the L shape, encourage them to divide it into smaller pieces and consider each independently. For the rectangle, remind them of the doughnut cross section they drew in a previous lesson.
Activity Synthesis
In the discussion, explore different aspects of the calculations students made. Invite one student who left the answer in terms of
\(\pi\)
and another who found a decimal answer to share their results. Remind students that the former is called an exact answer, while the latter is called an approximate answer because the value of
\(\pi\)
needs to be approximated and rounded to find a decimal answer. Emphasize that the choice of expression depends on the situation at hand.
If time permits, ask students would would happen if the first figure were rotated around the horizontal axis formed by the bottom edge of the figure. Challenge them to decide if the volume would be the same as with the rotation around the given vertical axis. (The volume of this figure would actually be
\(99\pi\)
cubic centimeters.)
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
As students share their sketches or descriptions of the three-dimensional solid that would form, press for details by asking how they know that the first figure would form two cylinders after a rotation around the vertical axis. Also, ask how they know that the cylinder on top will have a radius of 2 cm and the cylinder at the bottom will have a radius of 5 cm. This will help students justify their reasoning for the measurements of the cylinders in their sketches or descriptions.
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making; Optimize output (for justification)
